I lb. flour. \ lb. bread-crumbs. \ lb. suet. \ tea-sp. salt 1795. Suet Pudding 1 tea-sp. baking powder. About 1 cupful milk or water. Chop the suet very finely (see p. 395), and mix it in a basin with the other dry ingredients. Then make a well in the centre, and pour in enough milk or water to make a softish dough. Mix quickly and lightly, and put the mixture at once into a well-greased basin. Cover with greased paper, and steam steadily the required time. Turn out when ready, and serve with syrup or jam sauce. Notes. — Buttermilk may be used instead of sweet milk. The bread-crumbs may be omitted and £ lb. flour used, but the pudding will not be quite so light. A few currants, raisins, sultanas, or chopped nuts may be added to the mixture if wished, or 2 table-spoonfuls of jam or syrup may be put into the basin before putting in the mixture. Time to steam, 21 to 3 hours. Sufficient for 4 or 6 persons. Probable cost, 4 d. PUDDINGS AND HOT SWEETS 407 1796.
